Before the gorgeous and dazzling sword light dispersed the night and illuminated the city.
The most prosperous corner in the center of the city.
In a seemingly ordinary neighborhood.
A middle-aged man looked at the computer and typed on the keyboard, finishing a long email.
He took a long breath, took a few sips of the coffee next to him, and asked aloud: "Is everyone here?"
"We were all here five minutes ago. I knew you were reporting the situation, so I didn't bother you."
Standing next to the middle-aged man was a young woman who looked like an assistant. She watched her boss nod and send out the email, and subconsciously curled her lips: "Captain Zhang, your choice of words and sentences now makes you look more and more like a Star Country person." .”
Captain Zhang stood up from his seat and smiled self-deprecatingly: "It has been almost thirty years since I came to Star Country. Thirty years... thirty years..."
His voice sounded like he was mumbling to himself, and he finally shook his head and sighed: "I almost forgot what the fried noodles in Youzhou taste like."
"When you retire next year, you can go back and enjoy the blessings. The fried noodles in Youzhou are getting worse and worse. You can't find the authentic ones."
The young woman smiled.
"That's because you don't know how to find them. Let me introduce you to some small noodle restaurants. Let me tell you..."
"Come on."
The youngThe young woman rolled her eyes and said angrily: "Where can I find a noodle shop from thirty years ago? I can't go back even if I find it. Are you there? I have been here for almost thirty years, and maybe it will be me in the next thirty years.”
Captain Zhang walked out with a smile, nodded and said, "Well, we worked hard."
The woman rolled her eyes again and said nothing.
The two opened the door and walked out. Outside was a large living room. At this time, eight or nine people were sitting on the sofa, chatting casually.
There are people of both sexes from young to middle-aged, and the atmosphere is quite relaxed.
When Captain Zhang and his assistant came out, except for a young man who had just been transferred and stood up and subconsciously raised his hand to salute, the others were sitting relatively lazily without moving.
"Relax."
Team Zhang waved his hand with a smile: "You can't do this here. We are all friends and fellow countrymen. I am your housekeeper. You come to my place for dinner regularly. The relationship is very pure. Don't be nervous. If this action Once you get used to it, if you do it outside one day, the consequences will be serious."
Everyone laughed, and a woman closest to the young man pulled him, made him sit on the sofa again, and handed him a handful of melon seeds.
The relationship these people show to the outside world is that of a hometown association.
Because it is a foreign country and there are no Wuyue people in it, so when facing people from the same country, it is natural that they are fellow townsmen. On the surface, Zhang Dui, the owner of a logistics company here, is the initiator of the hometown association. I would come to his house every once in a while to get together and chat, and there didn't seem to be anything unusual about it.
In fact, this is one of Zhongzhou's most important intelligence network nodes in Star Kingdom.
Captain Zhang is the person in charge here, and also the person in charge of all Central Continent’s intelligence forces in this city.
This is the heart of Star Country.
Naturally, it is impossible for only such a few people to infiltrate Zhongzhou.
The few people present actually have an elite intelligence team in their hands, responsible for different areas and different intelligence. Everyone has their own responsibilities. Two of them are even responsible for two Zhongzhou arrangements here. The secret base holds a certain degree of armament.
Behind everyone here is an extremely secret intelligence network.
Captain Zhang's place is where they gather intelligence on a regular basis. Different intelligences are gathered together, analyzed and refined, and then classified into hierarchies. The important ones are sent to Zhongzhou, and the lower-level ones are kept for further digging. The intelligence obtained by different intelligence networks will be different from each other
Confirmed, and then given a new direction a second time.
This system has been running here for decades, and it has obtained countless types of intelligence, large and small. Listing all similar intelligence agencies in Zhongzhou around the world, the achievements of the agency that Captain Zhang is responsible for They can all be said to be the best group.
In other words, headed by Captain Zhang, the heads of the various intelligence networks below, and everyone who makes up the intelligence network can be said to be the elite among the elite.
Captain Zhang walked to the window and closed the curtains, sat down on the nearest sofa, and laughed softly: "Let's talk about business first. Xiao Zhou bought a lot of materials this time, and I will ask her to make a table for everyone later. Central Asian cuisine.”
He took out a cigarette, lit one, and asked, "How is the progress of that matter?"
"No progress has been made, and no useful information has been obtained."
A middle-aged woman shook her head: "We just talked about it. Our channels can't get any useful information on this matter. The level is too high. There is only one thing that can be determined. If at the press conference that day, If he suddenly disappeared without leaving Star Kingdom, then he must still be in Star Kingdom now, otherwise there would be no news at all."
The so-called incident naturally refers to Jiang Shangyu.
Determining Jiang Shangyu's status and whereabouts is the most important thing they have done during this time.
But unfortunately, until now, they have made little progress on this matter.
"Let's put this matter aside for now."
Captain Zhang shook his head: "I'm here to convey the latest instructions from Zhongzhou."
New order
Everyone subconsciously sat up straight.
"From now on, all members of the Fifth Squadron will enter a state of silence, stop all activities, disconnect from all peripheral members, formal members will gradually evacuate, and the first batch of armed forces in the secret base will evacuate.
I have a batch of important information here. You can take it away after dinner.
This is our last dinner together in this city. After everyone has finished evacuating, we will temporarily move to New Testament City for standby. "
The young assistant next to Captain Zhang had a calm expression and obviously knew about this.
But others were stunned and had no idea why.
Most of them have been operating here for many years. They have finally laid down a foundation and achieved a relatively stable operating state. But Zhongzhou's order is to abandon everything here and go directly to New Testament City
The New Testament city is naturally very important, or in other words, it is no less important than here.
This city and New Testament City are basically equivalent to Youzhou and Huating when compared to Zhongzhou.
But no matter what, this is the heart of Star Country. There is a lot of information, big and small, almost every day. Give up all
What happened
Moreover, the order was for them to go to the New Testament City to stand by, not to start work.
What does it mean to be on call
"Why?"
"I can't understand it. Everything here is stable and on track. If we leave, who will take over?"
"No matter who comes, they have to get familiar with the new environment. This will be a trouble for the new compatriots... is it necessary?"
Captain Zhang raised his palm and pressed it. When everyone was quiet, he shook his head: "Zhongzhou means that no one will be left here in a short period of time. As for the future, maybe we will come back, maybe we will give up completely. Here, that’s why we go to New Testament City to be on standby. Don’t worry, we won’t be idle for too long.”
"There has to be a reason, right?"
The young man who was transferred recently sounded a little reluctant.
"What's the reason..."
Captain Zhang was silent for a moment: "Zhongzhou is waiting for Jiang Shangyu's choice.
It's okay for him to join the Star Kingdom
Definitely, and with his current strength, Star Country will definitely devote a lot of resources to him and help him establish a super power as quickly as possible.
But where will the headquarters of this superpower be? It could be here, or it could be the New Testament city, and the possibility of it being in other places is also possible, but it is relatively small.
Where is the new super power headquarters? Jiang Shangyu will be there most of the time in the future. At his level, sword energy perception can cover most of or even the entire city. Do you know what this means? "
Captain Zhang glanced around for a week: "This means that at that time, every move we made was under Jiang Shangyu's nose. Every word we said and every piece of information we collected was clearly known to Jiang Shangyu. Chu, our existence has no meaning at all, so we have to..."
"There is still meaning..."
A voice suddenly sounded, with a slight smile.
This sound is very soft and far away, but it falls in everyone's ears, but it is extremely clear.
The whisper-like voice continued to echo, casual, cold, and careless: "At least, your presence can be used as a gift. Xingguo will definitely like it."
Captain Zhang's heart suddenly sank.
Everyone's expressions changed completely.
An incomparably brilliant light lit up from outside.
The hazy light and shadow penetrated directly through the thick curtains.
The whole space seemed to be moving with wind. There was no sound of wind, but all the windows were breaking silently.
The invisible wind tore the curtains apart, and outside the broken window, there was a colorful sword light filling the sky, covering the entire city.
The rainbow of sword energy that once represented invincibility in the dark world has now completely turned into a sky of sword energy.
Endless light illuminates the entire city in a dreamy way.
Team Zhang’s expression froze.
The laughter sounded in his ears again, cold and wanton.
They didn't have time to speak or even make any other moves.
The next second, everyone's bodies, including Captain Zhang's, were torn into powder by the seemingly soft and gorgeous sword energy.
Jiang Shangyu's figure has appeared outside the city.
To be precise, his figure appeared in the west of the city, the south of the city, and every corner of the city at the same time.
Two manors in different directions outside the city were directly wiped out the moment Jiang Shangyu appeared.
The sword energy is turbulent.
The flat ground suddenly collapsed.
The metal structure supporting the underground space continued to deform as the surface collapsed, and the violent force drove the sword energy to calmly and resolutely crush the underground base.
Explosions shook the night sky.
The two small bases that Zhongzhou secretly established here, along with everyone there, turned into powder without even reacting.
It rains more and more on the river at different locations.
They appear in cities, on the streets, in bedrooms of a certain community, in bars, companies, offices, and even in driving vehicles.
In the nearly twelve hours since he truly recovered his senses from the meditative state, every person in the city who mentioned words such as Middle-earth, intelligence, hiding, and lurking...
Everyone saw Jiang Shangyu at the same time.
Then all traces of existence were wiped away by the sword energy.
Under the most brilliant and dreamy sword light sky, this is the most complete clarity.
All the forces of Zhongzhou in this city were wiped out in this instant.
This is Egami's return gift to Earnhardt and Artest.
This means not only that he and Zhongzhou have officially parted ways, but also that with his sword, he and Zhongzhou have officially had a grudge that cannot be overcome no matter what.
So this is also his certificate of submission.
